“For, no one sins because God foreknew that he would sin. In fact, the very reason why a man is undoubtedly responsible for his own sin, when he sins, is because He whose foreknowledge cannot be deceived foresaw, not the man’s fate or fortune or what not, but that the man himself would be responsible for his own sin. No man sins unless it is his choice to sin; and his choice not to sin, that, too, God foresaw.” St. Augustine, City of God

Of this semester, City of God was one of my favorite books. This quote was really good. It shows one, that God knows all things, but two, it shows that we are the ones who sin and are responsible for our sins no matter what. I guess it just gave me a greater understanding of how big God is and the fact that he knew my sin and still died on the cross just blows me away. How unworthy am I for such grace as that. Such knowledge is too wonderful, too great for me to know…
